It is the third most populous region of Italy.
Famous places: the bustling and chaotic city of Naples, the spectacular Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), the island of Capri, Pompeii and Herculaneum (buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD), and Mount Vesuvius itself.
Islands: Capri, Ischia, and Procida in the Gulf of Naples.
Culture & food: birthplace of authentic pizza, many Roman and Greek remains, beautiful Baroque and medieval cities, and an intense, lively atmosphere.
Landscape: varied with a rugged coast, mountains (Apennines), fertile plains around Mount Vesuvius, and thermal baths on Ischia.
In short: Campania = sea, volcanoes, archaeology, world-famous coastal villages, pizza, and a mix of chaos (Naples) and pure beauty (Amalfi & Capri).
One of the most versatile and intense regions of Italy!
